think i like the 2nd one most.  as for the set, and the entire portfolio,  you need to work on your emoting. you currently have one look. 

and you might be a little stiff with the poses.

Do you mind me asking what I might do to liven up the port?
I'd like to broaden my range, I just feel a little lost as to how.

Yes, laugh often.  Practice smiling in the mirror.  Practice other emotions also.  Talk to yourself while practicing.

You are pretty - shoot lots of TFP, more than once per year - pose more often.

Study the images here on MM.

If you lived close to me, we would chat during our shoots.  It would be easy to emote.

As was said above, you need to vary your expression. The first shot in your portfolio has the most expression (minimal) and it's better than the others. The other one that I like is:https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/140327/23/53351480703f4_m.jpg
Good pose and you have long legs! You're 6'0" Where are your legs in your other shots? None, except the one above  hint that you're TALL. Where are the shots with the fitted jeans, slacks and shorts? Long elegant dresses, miniskirts.

You remind me of Kate Moss - she did fairly well. With expression and the right shots and clothes, you're going to need a secretary to handle the calls.  Oh yes, go on a lot of shoots!

Have fun and good luck!

Thanks! I will try to incorporate some of the advice.
I've always tried to follow the advice of the photographer I was working with but it's obvious I need to step up my game.
